Hoops, we did it again.

Yes, another couple of points dropped. Oh how things change,in just 3 days.
Celtic are in crisis mode….yes, crisis mode. Anyone who believes otherwise needs to come down off that cloud up there in cuckoo land,seriously.
For over 4 years now since the demise of the Strachan era, we have been belittled by a heartless board of directors,who brainwash us into thinking that our balance sheet is a success and that this should be considered a title victory in itself each season. How wrong they are.
Mr Desmond has contributed nothing to Celtic. He can’t even be bothered to show up at AGM meetings etc, the most important meeting on the club calendar and the major shareholder can’t even give you,yes you,the passionate,hard working,generously paying Celtic fans. You know…the fans that go home at night after spending all day travelling to the games,spending the vast amounts of money on their countless and endless forms of merchandise,the fans that go home and put up without the good,bad and ugly sides of the Celtic performances.
It was guys like me,back in the day that spent thousands travelling the world to follow the club,unfortunately that isn’t so much the case these days as football is all money.
Guys like me and many others that as kids,played down the public parks from8-9 in the morning till midnight almost every day that we could,emulating the heroes of that era.
Most football players now just want the money,it’s a fact that in the world today,everything is centred around money.
The difference is,many celtic fans would give anything to pull on the hoops and play for free,at least i would,but if I earned what many people earned in a year,in just one week,id be damn sure I kicked my c**t in for that club,before I picked up my salary.
Celtic in 4 years has had 3 managers in Strachan,Mowbray and now Lennon,each one of them ended up losing a league title,anyone see a pattern developing…..it seems as though,that no matter the man guiding this sinking ship,nothing will stop this ship on it’s colission course with failure.
Where does the blame lie? With the board?the major shareholders?the players? Manager? The fans?…well it all can be held accountable.
1) the board: these guys are conmen,plain and simple. Yes on one hand they are very good businessmen,they know how to keep the bank managers sweet. But they do not have a clue what it takes to run a football club. Many board members will come and go,earn shedloads of cash then move on, new guys will come in and the process gets repeated. Celtics fans will forever be there,loyal to the cause,and picking up the ever increasing tab to fund the club on the park,where it continues to fail spectacularly each year.
Mr lawwell and his cronies have been pocketing large sums of your cash,while investment in this club and it’s improvements in the team are left at around £8-10m a year. Mr Desmond has been at the club for too long, contributed nothing to the cause,I’ve probably spent more on Celtic than he has. One very alarming fact I want to point out is that Celtic have FIVE…FIVE major shareholders in britains richest top 100 football investors. More than chelsea,man u,man city,arsenal,Liverpool and rangers. All five of celtics big money men have a combined fortune of around quarter of a billion pounds between them. Does that not tell you all you need to know. These guys are crooks,and they fool you into thinking they have the best interests of celtic football club at heart,when in truth they break each hoops fans heart year in year out with complete failure.
2)manager and back room staff: 3 of celtics most loved and most constant defensive/attacking players,now run our team. A decent winger who had good control in midfield in alan Thompson,a big no nonsense brrick shit house of a defender in mjalby and a defensive midfield maestro,and one of celtics best captains in Neil Lennon….yet these guys can’t pick a team that can win consistently enough. They haven’t selected the same back four once this season,well i think they have on possible 3 occasions but that is it. They can’t sort out tactics to save themselves.it’s just not working for them. Time to move on.
3)the fans aren’t to blame,but if anything the one thing they can be blamed for is that sections of the support put up with this crap as they are more interested in just getting one over on the rangers. As far as I knew yes getting one over on them was part of it,but it wasn’t the be all end all of Celtic football club. Celtic is supposed to be a club that we can live our dreams from,we want success,we want glory,we want trophies,we want euro glamour ties,we want progress,we want passion,we want spirit,fight,determination,and most of all a team we can be proud of.
But oops,we’ve gone and done it again, we’ve made a complete mess of it all again,and the blue half of glasgow is pissing itself at OUR MISFORTUNES. Time to change this now,before it goes drastically wrong.
